Value Collection 401-251 Pvc Reducing Tee Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 401-251 is a Schedule 40 PVC reducing tee fitting designed for joining and branching plastic pressure piping systems. It features a 2 x 2 x 1-1/2 inch configuration with all-slip end connections, accepting solvent-cement joins on all three ports. The run diameter is 2 inches and the branch outlet steps down to 1-1/2 inches, making it a straightforward solution for reducing branch lines off a main run. At 0.4 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, and drain-waste-vent adjacent supply systems where PVC Schedule 40 is the specified pipe material.

This reducing tee is suited for cold and ambient-temperature water supply, irrigation distribution, and general-purpose liquid conveyance applications where Schedule 40 PVC is code-acceptable. The 2-inch run size is common in residential main supply lines and irrigation mains, while the 1-1/2 inch branch is a standard size for fixture supply and lateral lines. It is appropriate for above-ground and buried installations where local codes permit Schedule 40 PVC.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines for solvent-cemented PVC joints. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before cutting into any existing piping. Use the correct PVC primer and solvent cement rated for Schedule 40 fittings, and allow full cure time before restoring pressure. Do not apply heat or use this fitting with threaded connections without an appropriate adapter.
